BOOM BOOM BAUTISTA HAS NEVER TRAINED AS HARD FOR A FIGHT By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Mon, 28 Apr 2014  Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista has never trained as hard as he is for his ring comeback against Mexico's tough Sergio Villanueva at the Mall of Asia Arena on May 10. ALA Promotions president Michael Aldeguer told the Manila Standard "we've never seen Boom Boom train as hard and stay as focused for this fight. He has never matured this way." He noted that fight fans "had so much expectations of Bautista and if you watch and just appreciate what he does in the ring you will be entertained. Thats what Boom Boom is all about and we are very excited." Bautista is coming off a close split decision loss to Mexico's Jose Ramirez in which he lost his WBO International featherweight title but is determined to regain his momentum against the 22 year old Villanueva who has a record of 26-3-2 with 13 knockouts and is coming off a ten round unanimous decision over Fabian Vladimir Rios last July 19. Bautista who wil soon turn 28 has a record of 34-3 with 25 knockouts. Aldeguer said that "people felt that after Manny Pacquiao, he was the next savior but it was unfair to a guy who was so young and had limited skills but he entertains and cares for the fans." He said Bautista "wants to come back and prove everybody wrong and has been working on his flexibility, agility and I think he has improved a lot and hopefully he won't throw it out of the window come fight time." Aldeguer said that with former flyweight challenger Milan Melindo who is eager to get a rematch with Juan Francisco Estrada also on the card against Mexico's Martin Tecuaptela in a WBO INternational flyweight title fight he expects a terrific night if boxing in the tremendously succesful Pinoy Pride series of the g iant broadcast network ABS-CBN in cooperation with ALA Promotions.
